While I don’t have the dates in front of me, I know for a fact the Flying Tigers were operating in China BEFORE Dec 7 1941, and find it hard to believe nobody died before Dec 7.

The Flying Tigers were active from 20 December 1941 to 4 July 1942.

@Wolfshanze:

I don’t have dates in front of me, and I could very well be wrong here… April 1940 as the first American to die during WWII to military action… what about the Flying Tiger volunteers in China… I don’t remember when they started operating, but when did the first one of them die?

Warbirdforum shows these as being the first:

Flight Leader Neil Martin, killed in action, Dec. 23, 1941
Wingman Henry Gilbert, killed in action, Dec. 23, 1941

Look at his stupid name. 88 means Heil Hitler 8th letter twice. Losers ( skinheads) do this to identify them , 14 is unknown but probably another stupid idea represented by numbers.

Ya… his name tipped me off a lot more than his post… Hey… anybody want to take a guess which nation he likes to play in A&A? lol

It depends on which A&A game it is. Sometimes Axis nations, sometimes Allied nations. A&A is an interesting game on all sides.

@Narvik:

And yes it bothers me too when I see the German or Japanese navy off shore of Madagaskar. That never happened during the real WWII.

Stupid. Yes, it did happen…

A quick google search of “Battle of Madagascar” shows many links listing the Japanese ships off shore of Madagascar.

Another quick google search of “Kriegsmarine Madagaskar” lists U-boats and their operations in the Indian Ocean near Madagascar.
